We began at the Frontier Plaza on Mosman and 1st Street operating there until April 2012 when we moved to Yelm Ave, co-locating with Gordon’s Garden Center where you find us today.

A huge shout out to all our wonderful members, Working Members, volunteers, staff, board members, committee members and all the other customers who have supported this dream of a member owned grocery store, the Yelm Food Co-op!

We will have a belated celebration in the store when we can do samples and stand close to each other again!

Without you this would not have been possible!

Here’s where we came from:

Official Grand Opening 1 year later with Mayor Of Yelm and Chamber of of Commerce Ambassadors

The Organic Mary’s Gone Crackers seed was planted the day Mary discovered the power to create amazingly good snacks using only whole, plant-based ingredients.
